To Mr. Forrest, Debbie, Lisa, Jan and Cindy
I would like to send my condolences to all of you for the loss of your mother, wife and friend. I have treasured memories of Stella that go back to my childhood. Whenever I spent the night at the Forrest's house, we had beauty pagents and got to be girly girls. This was definitly a highlight in my life,having so many brothers myself. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
